Star Wars Novels.........

I think I'll do the same. I'll breeze through the first book and catch up with you Jowebee. I haven't read any one of prequel books yet. It will be nice to be on track with someone else instead of just bouncing around.

well, I like to read...what can I say.
I have been reading slower lately because I've been so busy with work and such, I'm not even half way through The Unifying Force (ever time I say that or type it I want to put in symbol crashes or something...light thunder)! In addition I have been reading a lot of research books for something else so my "pleasure" reading has declined quite a bit.
I might run out to B&N tomorrow after school and pick up the prequel books that I don't have yet.

Well I finally finished Refugee. Very very good, I want to have a book discussion thread. There are soooo many things I need to ask about these books and I'd love to hear others viewpoints on them as well.

Rogue Planet does set up quite a few things. I won't post any spoilers here, but you do get a bit more background on Anakin's anger and independent nature. I think you'll enjoy it. If you want to discuss it I'd love to join in. The "rogue planet" does come into play later in the Star Wars timeline, although I'll keep this post "spoiler-free" by not saying when.

I finished the last of the Force Heretic books. Oh my, good. Now I've started reading Final Prophecy. Well I can't sleep right now and reading doesn't help cause then I'll read all night long so yeah, not a good idea for me.

Jowebee, what do you mean by brutal? Is the book good? I've been wondering if the Darth Maul books give any good backround on the character...

Mary let me know how you like Prophesy...I liked it ok but it bothered me a little on who the book was mostly focused on (you'll figure it out real quick).

I'm about a quarter through Rogue Planet: It's starting to get good. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this here yet...but I really didn't like the beginning. My dad reads the last chapter first and if he likes it then he'll read the book. I'm the opposite; If the first chapter really doesn't grab me then it is hard for me to finish a book. One thing that really botherd me was that the first chapter was like, 6 or 7 pages long....and all the others have been half that.

funny story with that. I went and bought a tone of SW books onetime at Media Play. The guy at the counter started to discuss the books with me and stuff, rather funny. He said he didn't know many girls that like Star Wars. Yes, this was back before the days of the fanforce too.

I'm about half way through Rogue Plant now...
I'm enjoying it, but how the author has written Anakin I don't agree with....it doesn't mesh with the idea of the character as I would do it. But who am I...just the lowly reader

"Of course, the Warlord wasn't stupid either. He would certainly have rigged as strong a set of defenses in those tunnels as he could manage, including mines, boobytraps, and as many blaster and Lakran mercenaries as he could squeeze in. But this was the 501st Legion, the legendary "Vader's Fist". They'd handled worse in their long history. They would handle this, too."

I was at Borders the other day, filling out an application (I'm up here to work), and started reading through it. I'm really excited for the new one. Personally, I hated the Jedi Academy trilogy. Not because of the premise, just the writing style, mostly.
